One of the unpleasant, features of journalism in small communities IS the

 standing Tn the community themselves,
 are forever rushing into print, on the

 Prescott has two or three of the ab we class, who have for some time taken con siderable satisfaction aud pleasure in ap- plying the vilest and foulesi epithets ,ha, the degraded instincts of their deprayed nature could suggest, to the editor of this paper. They are individuals, too, whom we have never wronged, and whom we have treated with a respect far above what they are entitled to. or held by this community. We have ende,v- ored at all times to avoid engaging in a controversy with them, thinking that sooner or later they would grow weary of their villsinous attacks on us. We hereby serve notice on these defamers of women and authors of anonymous let ters, ihlt the assassin's club has no fear from us. and. if necessary, we shall ap ply the scalpel of truth fearlessly and mercilessly to these moral excresences of society. and will present their moral and intellectual deformity to the gaze of our readers in all it's hideous monstrosity, as ii exists to those who know them best.

The people of thls territory should al | once organIze to prevent the return ol the murderous Chisicahua band of cut throats to Arizona should the attemp, be made by the government, as recom-
 mended by Philanthropist Welsh. Our people submitted gracefully to the decis-
 ion of the government m removing them
 to Florida instead of turning them over
 to the civil authorities to be tried and
 properly hanged for their numerous
 murders. As matter of self-defense
 should they be returned to this territory, every last one of the males should De promptly killed. Governor Zulick, in his letter to Secretary Lamar, has simply voiced the sentimen, of the people of the territory from one end of it to the other, and should his protest on behalf of our people not be needed, he should show the administrator that he, as well as the citizens of this territory, were in earnest, by again courting his Winches- ter bride and leading his subjects in a war of extermination against these red handed murderers.

WASHINGTON, June Gone Of the leading

visibility OF calling an extra session OF con-
gress and the form of tarif bill to be pre-
sented to the next house. 1t was Mr.. Breck-
enrtdge, Of Arkansas, who first suggested that
the way out of the difficulty was to practic-
ally settle the question before congress met.
This he thought could be done by preparing
a tariff bill 10y and with the advice OF the
president and the secretary OF the treasury,
and giving 1t thus the prestige Of the admin
istration Endorsement. The idea has since
